Whatever | may b2 thought of Cobb’s qualifi- cations as a manager, he had the Tigers up and at 'em when he was in charge. The same will be true of Cochrane. the same MASTER CRAFTSMAN All things considered, Cochranz is the best backstop major league baseball has had since the palmy days of Kling, Archer, Schalk and Bresnahan. He combines speed with ruggedness, hitting ability and a rare aggressiveness. Four years ago, after Howard Ehmke had stcod the Chicago Cubs on their collective heads in the opening game of the world series, I ‘talked with Modrecai (Three- Fingered) Brown about the game. Naturally I expected him to dwell at length on the skill of Ehmke in the box, as appreciated by one of the great right-handed pitchers of all time. Quite to the contrary, Mr. Brown went into a rhapsody about Cochrane. “Cochrans’s performance to m(\.‘l was the 'standout feature of the game,” said Brown, as I recall his words. “He not only did everything mechanically that you could expect but he was away ahead of the batsman every time outguessing him and getting the maximum out of Ehmke's control. I have not seen anything so good since Johnny Kling was working behind the bat. WITHOUT A PEEP Two years later, strangely | enough, Cochrane was a goat of the world series which the Ath- letics lost to the St. Louis Cardi- nals, or, to be more specific, to a young man very much on the loose—John Leonard Martin, | Cochrane was not physically in good shape for that series.
